FINE DINING IN MISSISSIPPI

 

After a light breakfast at the hotel we headed to the golf course at Pass Christian Isles where we played a very slow round with a couple from Georgia.  However, the green fee was $ 15. Including a cart.  Not finishing until after 3:00 p.m. we decided it was too late for lunch and that we would hold out until dinner.

On the advice of TripAdvisor we eventually found a seafood restaurant called Blow Fly Inn.  The building is on stilts and set in a beautiful Bayou.  Although the interior design was quite unpretentious we had a window seat with a great vista.

I asked our waitress for a wine list and was informed that no such thing existed.  However, she rhymed off 4 or 5 wines and when I chose she asked if we wanted two glasses.  “No”, I responded, “we’ll have a bottle.”  “But sir, you’ll get sloshed”, was her response and she indicated that the wine was in gallon jugs.

After a shared appetizer of fried green tomatoes, followed by house salads, Betty had a combination plate (oysters, shrimp, catfish, stuffed crab) and I ordered the fried crab claw plate with a side of baked beans. 

When the crab claws arrived I could not resist counting them.  Determined that I would eat the lot my pant buttons stopped me at 55 (out of 70).
